- The returned values of the get system date action are not affected by the built-in setting date format.
- The date expression, # fd(today()), may be used to get the current date from the host machine.
- If the variables in arguments year, month, day or weekday have not been declared, the action creates them as globals.
- For each of year, month, day and weekday, if the argument is left empty, a variable with the same name as the argument header is created to hold the return value.
- This action supports the <ignore> modifier. If the string
<ignore>
is present as the value of any of the arguments, or any argument contains an expression that evaluates to<ignore>
, the action is skipped during execution.
